The clip – already widely used as an internet meme – shows Adolf Hitler ranting at senior Nazis in his Berlin bunker during the final days of the Third Reich.
Called Joan’s Downfall, Harris’s version of the clip features subtitles that take a swipe at Salmond for his secrecy over the referendum on Scottish Independence as well as his refusal to sack parliamentary aide Joan McAlpine, who last week suggested that parties opposing the SNP are anti-Scottish.
Harris resigned from his role as new media adviser on Sunday following talks with Johann Lamont, Labour’s leader in Scotland.
Commenting on the coverage the video has been the subject of since it was published on Saturday, Harris said: “The video I posted has been a well-worn joke used to parody a range of public figures.”
“However, context is everything and in the context of Joan McAlpine’s statements about all political opponents of the SNP being anti-Scottish, my actions have been an unhelpful distraction for which I apologise.”

THE COMPARISON of Scotland and Quebec is somewhat ridiculous.
Quebec wanted help From FRANCE and so Other Canadians saw this as intervention.Scotland only has themselves no outside assistance, THE BRITISH are WARMONGERS have never encouraged independence especially the oldest colony attached physically. To give Scotland independence, the British feel they are shrinking, Empire LOST attitude therefore BEG BORROW STEAL LIE-MANIPULATE- INCRIMINATE!........This is British tradition...TEA TIME BOYS! - 4 months ago

I UNDERSTAND GERMAN, I have watched heard all of Hitler videos.Many of the speeches the Candidates for president of USA= USE= were originally By Hitler. This video is funny Yet IN A MORE SERIOUS WAY WE SEE THE QUICK SAND that UK is stuck in waiting for USA to hand them the stick of rescue which never comes!
Scotland needs to decide for themselves, Whether to live under the Shadow of a failing Beast or strike out into the unknown and make DUE! THE NEW!
SCOTLAND independence separate from England no matter what may be. Solutions come when you know what you really want. Hail to Scotland Independence form The CROWN OF ENGLAND:.....Hasn`t worked since KING JAMES! - 4 months ago
